Hi everybody.
As you can see I am into the HMS Dido. I have purchased a fiberglass hull scale 1/96. Now I am having a bit trouble - in fact a lot - finding the right plans. I know I can purchase plans from the NMM. but not what sheet number i will need to build the model.. I have asked several places, on the Deans Marine Forum, and other places, but answers are missing.. Does anybody in here know something helpfull..

Best regards

Check out the ModelWarships UK forum, specifically this online build, http://modelwarshipsuk.informe.com/foru ... dt319.html
by Paul Simpson, newish owner of Sirmar hulls and fittings. He should be able to help.

Email the NMM and tell them what ship and time frame you are after (The more info you can give the better) they will then send you a proforma invoice listing all the sheets they have for the ship in question. The ain't cheap though. I understand fleetscale do a 1/96 Dido so they would also sell some drawings (Just top and side views)

Oh. I�m sorry. I didn�t tell what "Dido" I was searching for. I am looking for plans of the WWII cruiser HMS Dido. But anyway thank you so much for the very quick response. I Know of the NMM but as i don�t know what sheets of the ship plan i need to build the model. I dare not to contact them. My english is not good enough to point out wich ones of the entire plan I need to buy, that�s my problem...

Stu has closed the forum for the weekend to do some maintenance. He sent out an email, but it was probably before you signed up. It should be running again Monday.
